EUROPCAR CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN JAPAN

The car was in great condition.

Pickup and return are both at the airport, very convenient. Make sure to look for the Times Car rental sign, not Europcar. The process is quick and easy.

The two guys provided excellent service

Like: Responsive to booking and requests. Good that deal included extra driver and GPS (English) thrown in for free. It was also easy to extend the car for a day at a reaonable charge.
Dislike: nil

Like: Very nice and friendly staff. The car I rented was in good condition. I totally recommend it!

The staff were very friendly. Even when I asked about other travel-related questions, they spent a lot of time finding information and printed it out for me.

The customer service was very attentive and informative.

A very clean and well-organized car rental company.

Like: CAR CONDITION WAS GOOD. VERY CLEAN.
Dislike: NAVIGATION MANUAL WAS JAPANESE. AND NOBODY EXPLAINED HOW TO USE. HARD TO COMMUNICATE WITH STAFF. THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

The rental route suggested by online users is totally accurate! After exiting the airport, walk for 2 minutes to 11B. The staff will give you a number tag, and a free shuttle bus will take you to the office.

Great value for money, the car is very new

Used it in Europe before, very satisfied

Like: Car wasn't what we reserved. However, the performance of the car over the rental duration left us in no doubts that its performance was at least equal to, if not superior than, the one we had reserved. The staff were friendly and taught us how to use the in-vehicle GPS to navigate around, and gave many tips as to what to expect when driving in Tokyo.

1. The store is located at Fukuoka Airport's domestic terminal, which is very inconvenient for foreign tourists. It's impossible for tourists not to take domestic flights in Japan, especially when returning the car before flying back home. They only offer shuttles to the domestic terminal, and customers have to take their own bus to the international terminal, which was difficult as we had heavy luggage and were all women. When we asked for extra help, they flatly refused! The domestic to international terminal shuttle bus was also very crowded, which made the experience quite distressing. 2. The insurance details were not clearly explained when booking the car, so we just chose the basic option. There were no detailed explanations given when we picked up the car. While using the car, we hit a roadside fence while reversing due to the narrow road. Upon closer inspection of the insurance policy, the highest compensation was 50,000 yen. Additionally, if the car can still be driven, another 30,000 yen (or 70,000 yen if it can't be driven), totaling 80,000 yen in fees! There was no room for negotiation, even if it was just a minor scratch. It felt so unfair! If they had explained the insurance details clearly, we could have just paid a small fee of 1,000-2,000 yen and resolved everything. Such a great trip was completely ruined in the end!

Although I booked through Europcar, in Japan it was actually Times. The booking reference didn't match. Eventually, we asked at the airport information desk and compared phone numbers from different car rental companies to find out it was Times and got the specific store location. Otherwise, we would have had to call the store, but our phone cards were for internet use only and couldn't make calls, which made it more troublesome.

This time the car was provided by TIMES! They transferred my order to another company without informing me beforehand, causing me to wander around the pickup point looking for my car! I wasted over an hour and had to make an international call to Zuzuche customer service to complain, only to find out it was TIMES! I think Zuzuche is largely to blame! They must seriously reflect on my unpleasant experience and compensate me for my losses!!!

Very good

This time at Nagoya Airport, the car was serviced by Times. The staff there were very helpful, especially the young lady who spoke excellent English. She went through all the documents with me, page by page, placing them in a plastic folder for me. She then used a flashlight to show me the condition of the car, and sat in the passenger seat to explain all the controls in detail. After thoroughly explaining everything, she bowed and left.

The service attitude was good, but the staff had difficulty communicating in English, and their explanations of vehicle usage were insufficient.

Like: We doing a long distance drive trip in Japan, OSAKA-NARA-NAGOYA-FUJISAWA-TOKYO-KYOTO-OSAKA, with nice sightseeing. Thanks easyrentcars.com have so nice service.
Dislike: None
